Dora's song...

Dora's theme song is a special at our house. Or in a car. Or at church sometimes. When someone starts singing it, Ryan isn't far behind in singing along. This is one we got when Kylia and I were on the way to Hosford.

Duncan's Song...

Ryan is so funny, taking in every piece of learning she can. She has even been asking lately to go to school. Every time we see a school bus, she yells for me to go "catch it." Joe even says they count the school buses on the way to grandmas's every morning. Makes me wish I could take them sometimes in the mornings but there aren't many school buses running at 6:45 that I see.

Now Ryan is in the mindset of copying everything that people say, she sings songs and dances with her favorite shows on t.v. A few weeks ago she stayed with Terah for a while and when I got back, she and Addy were singing their own song. They call it "Duncan's Song" and this is the final product. While there is some cueing and "singing" on my part, it is truly Ryan's song and shows just how much she loves her Duncan.

Dora Rocks!

Don't make me repeat myself about how much Ryan loves Dora the Explorer! We had a Dora themed birthday party for crying out loud! This is another video of a ride-along with Kylia on our way to the 1st cousins photo shoot. She will start to sing one Dora song and then skip to another and then another. I never know what is gonna come out of her mouth next. Here, she sings a compilation of Dora medleys and while I try to "help" her sing an entire song, she lets me know real quick that she sings on her terms!

American Idol...look out!

Ryan is a singer...one day she will be anyway...This video shows her singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to Brittyn because she was fussy on the way to a family photo shoot with Helaman, Cannon, Olivia, Bellamy and Addison. Terah had purchased coordinating outfits for everyone to gather the first cousins for a photo shoot before Valentine's Day. Britt wasn't a fan (and still isn't) of the car seat and one of the things that always calms her down is listening to Ryan sing to her. I love it, and Ryan is getting older so I can understand a lot more of her "songs" so it is really sweet. Just can't get enough of these girls.

Pretty self explanatory...

I titled this video "Brittyn rolls over." Enough said. She was fastly approaching four months old, she was about one week away and she had been trying to roll over every time we put her on the floor. Finally she did it. I called people. I texted people. I posted it on FACEBOOK, for crying out loud!!! She did it and I couldn't be any more excited than I was at that minute!!! And, without further adu...watch her roll!!!

Hat head...

Aahhh...babies and their hair...some babies have hair, some don't...those that have hair vary between having lots of hair and having just a little bit in some random places...every baby and their hairline is just as different as a snowflake...in this instance, I think Brittyn takes the cake in the "baby witht the most hair EVER!!!" Aunt Becky made Bellamy some hats and one day Kylia and I took my girls down to see Bellamy (and Jaren and Drew)...Needless to say, we had to play dress up with the girls, especially since they can't talk at this age and can't tell us no! Kylia and I put the hats on the girls and could hardly contain our laughter...Sadly, Bellamy is not on this video but that's probably because we were laughin so hard that I couldn't hold the camera still long enough. Besides, Brittyn got hiccups near the end of the video because she was probably trying to bounce that "piece" off her head!!! Britt's gonna love this when she gets older and sees what we put her through in the name of fashion!!!

Happy New Year!

Ok, Christmas has come and gone in the land of videos that are on my desktop and what better way to start the new year than with some precious Brittyn smiles and coohs and oohs and aahs!!!

Can't leave Brittyn out...

Ryan really is getting used ot Brittyn and I'm sure she can't wait till Britt is big enough to play with...but in the meantime, we are trying to teach Ryan to share and be sweet to her baby sister...enter Christmas tree trimming and Ryan is trying to let her participate in holding ornaments and taking them from her...cuteness ensues...

Its always Christmas at our house...

So, I know its February, I mean MARCH and all but I have a lot of videos and pics on my computer and they've gotta come off...my computer is old and I can't have it running any slower than it already is!!! So, let's start in Christmas, Ryan loved to decorate the tree and I didn't really want to let her get near it. But, she's gotta learn and I really couldn't stop her. I let her decorate a portion of the tree with some un-breakable ornaments and thankfully she stuck to just one section. She wanted to tell me how great she was doing and wanted me to watch her and record her. She even would say "Merry Christmas" a time or two. She would say it a lot, actually but I didn't get a lot of it on the video. Maybe next year!!!
